  • the system unit 110 detects that the remaining power of the internal power supplying unit 120 is lower than the power threshold, the remaining power of the internal power supplying unit 120 is used for the operating system operated by the system unit to automatically enter the hibernation mode (step S308).
  • the power controller 130 cannot use out all of the power in the mobile power supply device, and can only supply the voltage of the external voltage EV until the voltage value of the external voltage EV is lower than a second voltage threshold (step S309).
  • the second voltage threshold is higher than the first voltage threshold, and a voltage value thereof corresponds to the minimum power of the mobile power supply device capable of switching the operating system operated by the system unit 110 to the hibernation mode.

  • FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the invention. Compared to FIG. 1 , the embodiment of FIG. 4 provides a detailed implementation of the power controller 130, and a switch 140 is further configured between the internal power supplying unit 120 and the power controller 130 and the system unit 110.

  • the control unit 132 is coupled to a control terminal of the switch 131 and the input point INP. When the control unit 132 detects that the input point INP is connected to the source of the external voltage EV, i.e. detects the external voltage EV, the control unit 132 turns on the switch 131.
  • the switch 131 includes two transistors, and parasitic diodes of the two transistors are inversed to each other.
  • the switch 140 includes one transistor, and a control terminal thereof is coupled to the internal power supplying unit 120. Namely, when the internal power supplying unit 120 supplies the system voltage SV to the system unit 110, the switch 140 is turned on.
  • Such configuration of the switches 131 and 140 may avoid disconnection caused by potential imbalance. Since such connection is widely used in the conventional technique, it is well known by those skilled in the art.
  • the voltage value of the external voltage EV provided by the AC transformer 210 is higher than the voltage value of the system voltage SV provided by the internal power supplying unit 120.
  • the voltage value of the external voltage EV provided by the mobile power supply device 220 also has to be larger than the voltage value of the system voltage SV provided by the internal power supplying unit 120. Namely, the voltage value of the external voltage EV provided by the mobile power supply device 220 has to be between the voltage value of the external voltage EV provided by the AC transformer 210 and the voltage value of the system voltage SV provided by the internal power supplying unit 120.
  • a potential between the switches 131 and 140 is lower than a potential between the switch 140 and the internal power supplying unit 120, such that the parasitic diode in the switch 140 is not completely blocked (turn on), and a current is generated to flow back to the mobile power supply device 220, which may cause the mobile power supply device 220 to activate an over current protection (OCP) mechanism to cut off the path between the mobile power supply device 220 and the input point INP.
  • OCP over current protection
  • a following table 1 is a relationship table of numbers of battery cells between the internal power supplying unit 120 and the mobile power supply device 220.

  • a relationship of the numbers of the battery cells between the internal power supplying unit 120 and the mobile power supply device 220 is not limited as that shown in the table 1. Since one battery cell of the notebook computer can provide a voltage of 3 volts, which is decreased to about 2.8V when the power is nearly exhausted, it may have at least one battery cell difference between the internal power supplying unit 120 and the mobile power supply device 220 (for example, the mobile power supply device can also be configured with 4 battery cells, and the internal power supplying unit is configured with 2 battery cells).
  • the invention provides an electronic device and a power supplying method thereof, which is capable of determining the source type of the external voltage according to the voltage value of the external voltage, and implement different management methods according to the source type of the external voltage.
